It has been a frustrating Euro 2020 for Bruno Fernandes so far. On the evidence of his performances against Hungary and Germany, and with a Group F decider against France on Wednesday (LIVE on ESPN and ESPN+ at 3 p.m. ET in the U.S.), the Portugal version of the midfielder is a shadow of the one who is such a dominant figure at Manchester United.
Almost from the moment he arrived at Old Trafford from Sporting Lisbon 18 months ago, Fernandes has been the go-to guy for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's team, the fiercely driven creative force who has eclipsed Paul Pogba as the difference-maker in the side.
